Abstract – A new method for finding geometric structures in digital images is proposed. An adaptive algorithm of straight line segments extraction is developed for manmade objects description in digital images. It uses an adjustment of oriented filter angle for precise extraction of line corresponding to real edge. Perceptual grouping approach is applied to these segments to obtain simple and complex structures of lines on the base of their crossings. Initial image is presented as a collection of closed structures with their locations and orientations. Applications to real aerial, satellite and radar images show a good ability to separate and select specific objects like buildings and other line-segment-rich structures. Keywords: object recognition, feature-based image matching, perceptual grouping, content-based image retrieval, building and road extraction
matching, which require the development and investigation of specific object models and feature descriptions with the use of straight line segments [11-24]. Though plenty of works were devoted to theoretical aspects of grouping problems there are not so much practically effective algorithms...

...﻿How does Alan Gibbons create dramatic tension in The Edge?
Alan Gibbons creates dramatic tension in The Edge using a variety of different techniques such as; pathetic fallacy, animal imagery, dramatic tension etc. The book is based on a young boy called Danny Mangam who lives in north London. He and his mother are on the run for Chris Kane, Danny’s abusive step-father. They try to get away and manage to get to Cathy’s mother and fathers house on the Edge Cliff Estate. But even there, nothing is safe. When they arrive, they are made to feel unwelcome by Cathy's father who disapproves of his mixed-race and says Danny is a 'mistake'. Elsewhere in Cathy’s northern hometown, racism is a major issue and Danny starts to find himself in a lot of bother; especially when he starts the local high school. And then Chris starts to track them down.
Firstly, dramatic irony is when the reader knows important information about the plot/ other character/ what might happen. Characters concerned does not know this information. For example the underlay Cathy has laid (newspaper) from the Edge Cliff Estate could reveal where she and Danny have escaped to. But when Cathy realised that’s she’s forgotten something she says “It isn’t as if Chris is likely to find it. What reason would he have to pull back the carpet?”
Also dramatic irony is used again when Chris is searching for Danny and Cathy in his black Mondeo trying to find them,...

By analyzing the benefits of hiring employees from an external milieu, the reader will have a better insight to the advantages of this endeavor. This graduate student will discuss data collected to support why an organization should seek candidates from an external milieu and how this will benefit the organization. The value of hiring employees from the external milieu is a method to scintillate, inspire, and allow a natural process of current employees to seek growth in their perspective arenas (Sullivan, Sept).

...Clean Edge Razor- Case Analysis
Introduction
Paramount Health and Beauty Company has developed a new razor called Clean Edge. Paramount needs to decide between launching this razor in a niche or mainstream position. After analysis, we recommend that Paramount launch Clean Edge in niche position.
Analysis of Clean Edge
Financial Analysis
Launching Clean Edge as a niche product would require significantly less ad expense compared to attempting a mainstream positioning, $15 million compared to $42 million, respectively.
Furthermore, there would be significant cannibalization of sales to our current product offerings if Clean Edge were positioned as a mainstream product. 60% of Clean Edge sales would come from Paramount Pro and Avail sales if launched in a mainstream position. While 35% of Clean Edge sales would come from Pro and Avail if launched with a niche positioning.
Assuming gross profit stays consistent with 2009 levels, this leads to a total net profit of $58.8 million in year 1 and $79.8 million in year 2 across all lines when Clean Edge is launched in niche position. If launched in a mainstream position total net profit across all lines is $55.5 million and $69.9 million respectively.
Consumer Segments
There are 3 segments of consumers in the arena of non-disposable razors. Social emotional shavers make up 39% of the population...

Living on the Edge
It was a Friday afternoon in Dayton, Ohio and I could feel the blistering cold wind pound against my face. I made sure to checking every inch of my sled to make sure that I would be safe. I took one last look over the edge. Consumed by fear, I took the plunge off the cliff like hill with my red wooden sled.
It was the winter of 2005 and I was 10 years old. Christmas break had just ended and I couldn’t wait to go to school to show off my cherry red wooden sled that I got for Christmas. The entire night I rolled back and forth across the bed, getting too hot then too cold, I couldn’t sleep knowing how excited all my friends would be to see my new sled. Six o’clock came around and I was up and ready before the alarm even went off. I arrive at school to a wave of kids pouring out of their cars and into the building. I get to class only to be bombarded by my best friend Stephan showing off the new toys that he got for Christmas.
“Justin look at my new iPod it can hold two thousand songs.”
“That’s nothing compared to what I got.’
“What did you get?”
“I got that red sled that we saw in that magazine.”
“That’s awesome. When can we try it out?”
“The next times it snows meet me at “the Hill”.”
“’The Hill”, are you sure you ready for that?”
“Yeah, with this new sled I can do anything.”
Friday morning finally came around, after a never-ending week of school. I’m in my room searching in the dark for my clothes,...
